If you’re on Twitter, you know that the SXSW tweets started at least a month ago, and they’ve been gaining momentum since then. The interactive part of the festival kicked off today with film and music to follow, as well as millions of tweets about all the fun going down in Austin that we’re all missing.

Unfortunately, not everyone can make it to Austin in the middle of March every year for the annual South by Southwest music, film, and interactive festival. So if you’re sick of seeing the #sxsw hashtag in every other tweet in your Twitter feed, there is a solution. Much like the Tinted Sheen Charlie Sheen blocker, there is a magical answer to the question of “How can I stop seeing #sxsw without just not checking Twitter for the next week?” Lanyrd has created a Twitter browser extension that can remove the tweets of more than 3,000 people who are attending this year’s SXSW interactive from your stream for the duration of the conference. No word on if they’ll come out with one for next week’s music part.

To block the tweets you just need to install a browser extension on Firefox or Chrome. The extension will add a menu to Twitter (see above) where can choose to filter the tweets you see, removing those with the #sxsw hash tag, tweets made by known attendees, or both.

Don’t worry, if hiding the tweets is making you wonder even more about what’s going on at SXSW, you can always just toggle hiding on and off. But be warned, the tweets about free drinks, barbecue, Tex-Mex, and the annoying “can you get me into that party?” tweets will be there waiting for you.
